Trump DECLARES that Neocon Mark Levin Is Above All Criticism

Podcast cover

System Update with Glenn Greenwald

Donald Trump's redefinition of MAGA is the central focus, shifting it from a set of political principles to a cult of personality centered on himself. Greenwald argues that Trump now equates MAGA with unwavering loyalty to his current beliefs, regardless of past stances. This is evidenced by Trump's expulsion of figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene for criticizing his policies, particularly regarding Israel and Iran. Trump's embrace of neoconservative figures like Mark Levin, whom he previously denounced, further illustrates this ideological shift. Greenwald highlights Trump's phone call with Laura Loomer shortly after launching an attack on Iran as an example of irresponsible behavior. Ultimately, MAGA now means agreeing with whatever Trump believes at any given moment, abandoning any fixed principles.
